what happen to my LED projector?

[movi3nerd]

I've got this projector for a while, and used it a lot, maybe every weekend for a couple of years. last weekend, it started to show some lights that leaked on its left and right sides. Now it's just showing nothing. the lights could turn on, and there was a white line in the middle.
I can't see menu, what's the problem here? is this fixable?

Sounds like the imaging chip or mainboard gave out. When you only see a white line, it’s usually not the lamp. Repair is possible, but often costs close to a new projector.

that sounds like a hardware failure of the internal display mechanism (either the LCD panel or DLP chip) or the main image processing board, bcs of age and wear. it's fixable, but the repair cost is more than the projector's value
